It combines a flame-retardant, water-resistant filter medium with embossed pleats and Mann’s glue-string pleat retention to maintain shape and consistent airflow under varied driving conditions. The result is cleaner intake air, steady air-fuel mixture behavior and protection against particles that can accelerate engine wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this filter fit my BMW or MINI?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 22 018 is manufactured to the OE housing profile and dimensions for direct replacement—no modifications required.
